FLOS

FLOS was founded in 1962. The very same year they began producing a number of lamps that were to become classics in Italian industrial design. These first lamps were Arco, Relemme, Toio and Taccia all designed by Achille and Piergiacomo Castiglioni. As a tangible proof of their timeless design and technical excellence, these lamps continue to be produced today.

From the very outset, FLOS has been characterized by its high-quality approach to lamp design and production. Many of the numerous lamps designed for the company, first by Achille and Piergiacomo, are undoubtedly some of the best-known and most successful products of industrial design. They have won awards and historical critical accolades, and are included in all the most important collections and design museums around the world.

Born in Paris in 1949, Philippe Starck is one of the most original designers and architects of the last three decades. Having designed furniture, hotels, mega-yachts, lighting and many others throughout his career, Starck has become a fixture in modern design. Not only does Starck create beautifully unconventional designs, he creates a finished product whose main purpose is to function well before anything else.

Philippe Starck has obtained many important acknowledgements, including the Grand Prix National de la Creation industrielle and the Honor Award of the American Institute of Architects. In Starck's own words, "subversive, ethical, ecological, political, humorous... this is how I see my duty as a designer."

Soft modern glowGreat little lamp. Simple design, the soft, fabric shade really adds to this piece. Bright light with a great dimmer. We love the lamps. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Hello - Is the off/on/dimmer switch one that has to be turned on and off on the floor ? Also is the light a replaceable bulb or - ?

Asked by: helen2

Hi there! The on/off switch is on the cord, but it is close to the lamp and not on the floor. If you have any further questions, please feel free to give us a call anytime at 866.842.6209 to speak to a Product Specialist directly. We're here to help!
